- YUMIN!!!

The girls gasped as if they couldn't believe their eyes, the person in front of them was actually Sajang nim!

- Jinja...?  - Hyewon smiled while looking at Yumin.

- A bit young!  - Nako mentally calculates Yumin's age, seems to be younger than her.

- I know how they have expressions like this!  - Lucy can carry out the plot, smiling proudly.

- 2...3... Anhonhaseyo IZ*ONE imnida!  - Eunbi stabilized the formation, leading the voice.

- Welcome to Diamond Star!  - Yumin ignored Lucy's teasing on the other side and smiled at the girls.

It's destiny!

In the girls' impressions, they simply thought of Yumin as a friend like any other person with a normal life.  Currently appearing in front of them is a leader at the top of an entire company that they later became Yumin's junior artist, it felt magical.

- We are not strangers to each other, and some of the members have known each other for a long time!  So as a superior, I strongly advise everyone to work hard but not too much. Besides, the company's regulations are not too strict, hope everyone strictly follows them. And I know some members have limited capacity so try to practice to improve day by day, the coaches will be by your side to guide everyone enthusiastically, others should not be subjective in practicing.  The company always stands by to support everyone, creates comfortable conditions for everyone to work without pressure and fully protects each person, if you have any wishes or requests, you can find Somin for her to propose.  Don't keep it in your heart, understand?  - Yumin standing in front of IZ * ONE boldly said completely different from the previous Yumin and the girls chatting happily, making the atmosphere a bit quieter.

- NAE!  Thanks Sajang nim for teaching!  - The girls said in unison, and at the same time, Eunbi represented the group to answer.

- Um!  Also... After office hours, you guys don't need to be respectful to me!  You can call my name as usual and I'll invite you guys to a meal later!  - Yumin smiled, her hand in her trouser pocket was constantly rubbing, showing that she was nervous and a little shy.

- Nae!  Sajang nim~!  - Hearing this sentence, Yujin seemed to have waited a long time and then took the opportunity to call out to Yumin in a childish voice.

Yumin shook her head amusingly while beside Lucy with a happy face staring at the phenomenon in front of her, her president was shy!

After a short conversation, even though they were a bit surprised because they discovered their Sajang nim, thanks to Yumin's skillful guidance, the girls gradually felt more natural when interacting with Yumin and even wanted to be closer than before. 

Except for one person...

On the way to lead the girls to eat, Hyewon ignored leader unnie reminders many times, kept jumping to stick with Yumin, and kept asking many things about Yumin's presence here and the story of establishing Diamond Star, Yumin also became successful really answered from the idea of ​​opening the initial company and then gradually building until finding friends and establishing the current company.  Of course, Yumin reduced the details of the cases that happened during the process of finding a partner and the reason why Yumin quickly established Diamond Star!

Yujin and Yena walked beside her and nodded admiring Yumin's talent, Somin quickly walked ahead to the designated place to find a large corner for 14 people and Junho and Lucy refused to return to the company to work.

Arrange the girls to sit fully, Somin asked the waiter to let the girls order, as a manager, Somin must carefully take care of all, putting the artist first.

Long table-style sitting position:

Yuri              Eunbi           Hyewon
Hitomi                               Yujin
Chaewon                           Nako
Yena                                   Minju
Sakura                           Wonyoung
Chaeyeon     Somin         Yumin

The food brought out with a faint aroma made the girls refrain from swallowing large gulps of saliva.  This is a restaurant built next to Diamond Star for the staff to rest and dine there, also sell coffee in the morning for the people around to come and enjoy in the morning, there is a very airy upstairs upstairs.  Planting a lot of trees is very cool, below, the decoration is very modern divided into two areas, one inside the restaurant is cute and clean, you can also see the cars outside through the glass window and the other outdoor.  camping style, long tables and chairs with parquet floor spaced.

Yumin's group is sitting in the outdoor area, above there is a layer of glass and some small potted plants hanging above.  The cool atmosphere also makes people happy to dine.

Minju looked expectantly looking at someone thoughtfully taking the food to share with the members.  Yumin turned to see Minju's expression and burst out laughing because it was so cute, didn't want to disappoint her unnie Yumin took the plate in Minju's hand and wholeheartedly met the delicious food in the plate, funny that Yumin had to pick it up at the same time.  observe Minju's facial expression.  If it's a favorite, she smiles brightly and if Yumin puts the tongs on the dish she doesn't like, Minju will pout, Yumin sighs and picks up a few slices of tomato before handing over the plate to Minju without forgetting to warn her.  She should eat a lot of vegetables.

- Anyone else need anything?  - Yumin stood looking around the table, observing everyone's plates. When she looked at Wonyoung, she saw that her simply had a few slices of meat, then he leaned over in concern.

- Do you want to eat more?

Wonyoung is restless today, isn't it! Who would have thought that her Sajang nim is the person that she many times cause a lot of hatred for that person, in fact she doesn't hate Yumin, but because that person self-composed, thinks that she hate her. Wonyoung herself doesn't understand her own feelings when facing Yumin, a bit annoyed because she is not like Hyewon unnie who is close to skinship every time she meets Yumin, or like Yujin who is always enthusiastic and excited to create a feeling of closeness to chat or like Minju gently touches each other like close friends. Perhaps in Yumin's eyes, Wonyoung is just like a screen following Yujin, appearing in the background in every meeting of the three, she's really not as close to Yumin as the members think.

Such a thought lingers in Wonyoung's mind forever, although she reminds herself that it's okay, but seeing everyone laughing and joking with Yumin and unintentionally creating distance from her, Wonyoung has feel like she want to leave this place immediately.

While eating while fighting, Wonyoung doesn't know that the person next to her is waiting for her answer.

- Wonyoung ah!

- Huh! What did Unnie just say?  - Wonyoung recovered her mood and turned to see Yumin's worried eyes, she looked around and saw that the members also paused their activities to observe her.

-Doesn't Wonyoung eat a lot every day! How little did you eat today?  - Chaeyeon opposite, like Yumin, saw Wonyoung's plate with some simple dishes and wondered.

- Ah!  I ate before, so I'm not hungry!  - Wonyoung doesn't let everyone worry, she answered smilingly and ate the food on the plate, forgetting that Yumin was next to her waiting for her.

- Yumin!  You eat too, don't stand like that!  - Somin noticed something was wrong but didn't immediately investigate, looking at Yumin still standing but not much food, reminding him.

- Um!  - Before turning to Somin with a smile, Yumin frowned slightly thinking about what mistake she had made that angered the little girl next to her.

After eating and drinking, everyone talked for a while, then said goodbye, Somin took the girls back to prepare for the next schedule.  Yumin returned to the office to handle unfinished business, before leaving she also looked back to watch the tall figure whispering something to herself before walking away.

...

Returning to the dorm, saying that, it's actually like a big house containing 12 members. After signing a contract with everyone, Diamond Star rented 4 houses in the Seongdong district apartment complex, where many high-class apartment buildings are located, one apartment is approximately 2-3 billion won and rented together.  At 4 apartments like this, netizens can't help but whisper about the company's wealth.  The four groups IOI, Wanna One, IZ * ONE and X1 initially moved in and were very alarmed by the luxury brought by your company, but unexpectedly, most of the work Yumin plowed outside to bring back for investment.

Each floor is for a group, the upper two floors are for the male group and the lower two floors are for the female group. After entering, IZ * ONE was scattered in one place, with 4 bedrooms: 2 large rooms and 2 small rooms.  Two bathrooms and a dressing room, a main kitchen with a dining table and an auxiliary kitchen for baking or preparing noodles and drinks.  The large living room is suitable for the number of members living together, in general compared to the previous environment, the girls are now surrounded and cared for in the best conditions.

With a certain banana game devised by Yena, the members waged a fierce battle over the bedroom.  As a result, the 2 large rooms belong to Chaeyeon with J-line and Hyewon and Joyuriz, and the 2 small bedrooms belong to Jinjoo and Kwonyoung!  Today, the group will return to the room to practice choreographing songs and recording to prepare for the 2020 comeback.

Wonyoung struggled to arrange a few things to put in her bag, she pursed her lips thinking it might be too much to be cold to Yumin like that after all, she is her superior and still treats her well, but Wonyoung is so much when the expression separates, she sigh and blame myself for what she really want, there must be some problem that she doesn't know is stuck between the two.

- Are you ready, guys?  - Somin outside the living room called in.

- Nae! We come out here! - Yujin answered loudly.

Wonyoung stopped thinking, she grabbed her bag and walked out of the room, accidentally bumping into Minju passing by, Minju looked at her smiling and patted her head.

- What are you thinking about all day?

- What's the matter!  And how is unnie so close to Yumin unnie?  - Although she heard Minju's story about the meeting between the two, Wonyoung still wants to find out the difference that makes her look out of place right now.

- Then I simply made an appointment to hang out and chat to get close to her! It's you!  If you have any questions, feel free to find out, don't sit still and think miscellaneously!  - Minju used her finger to point at the center of Wonyoung's forehead, excitedly holding the bag to the front.

- I know right away that there is no answer!  - Wonyoung doesn't have the same energy as Yujin, but compared to Minju, she is much more confident instead of being shy and passive in relationships, but Minju can be close to Yumin, why is she still conflicted so.  Wonyoung holds hands to tell herself to improve her attitude next time, grabs her bag and chases after the unnies.

...

Who said that working in an entertainment company can always meet idols.  The artists and the staff are both busy with their work, each has responsibilities that need to be completed and has free time, as long as they handle all the work of the day, they are satisfied.  There are also people who hate to stay at the company to unleash their full capacity because time goes by too quickly.

Yumin is also one of them, she clearly took advantage of everything to quickly complete the work, but the day still hasn't finished the schedule if it wasn't for Lucy to remind her, she would have rushed to work non-stop.  Take a break, it's bad for your health.

At Diamond Star, it is similar to the organizational model of other companies, going to work early in the morning and returning home in the afternoon, the day goes by simply, sometimes there are difficulties that make all employees rush to solve the problem there are also times outside of hours when everyone takes a break and receives commendable good results, not to mention other large and small companies, but Diamond Star alone attaches great importance to employees as Yumin's motto: "Diamond Star like a big family and everyone is close to each other!"

Without wasting everyone's efforts, Yumin and the leaders planned to organize a Christmas event for all to participate, reduce stress in a year and continue working for a new year so that everyone  People recently are full of enthusiasm, full of working spirit, waiting for Christmas day.

...

Lucy stretched out, massaging her neck, aching from having her head down in the books all day, glancing at the person next to her who still had the strength to hold the tablet to check the data. It's already more than 5 pm, the administrative work has ended, but if the superiors still have work, they will still be aware of normal overtime.

- Chairman!  At 6:30 we have an appointment with Mr. Kim, now go back to the company first or go home?  - Mr. Kim is also Kim Moonbok, the two met without needing to schedule an appointment, so Junho reminded instead of Lucy.

- Lucy!  Today's work is over, so you go home first, I can go back by myself!  - After meeting Moonbok, she still had to go to a place, because it was a personal matter, Lucy didn't need to follow.

- Don't be late, remember to have dinner!  If not, I'll report it to Aunt Jang! - Lucy checked her watch and turned to Yumin with a smirk.

- Who are you actually working for?  - Yumin is helpless.

- I are just doing my duty!  The President must take care of his health to complete the job! - Lucy raised an eyebrow.

Bringing Lucy back home still had to listen to the lecture one more time, Yumin had to reluctantly obey before Lucy let go. Junho took Yumin to the place where he met Kim Moonbok, waited for her to finish discussing the matter, then continued to the next place.

As Christmas is coming along with cold snowy days, Seoul people have the opportunity to go shopping to buy for their families and themselves warm clothes against the cold.

The night sky sprinkled with snow covered the city, cars passed slowly along with the flow of people under the colorful lights from the shops lining the streets.

Right now most people are at home relaxing after a long day outside at work.  As for Diamond Star, some of the windows were still lit, Woohyun put down the file and used two fingers to gently rub his aching pupils, sighing as he looked at the unfinished report he should have finished.  The amount of work today is only because of this "workaholic" but still sitting in the office near 9 pm.

While struggling to pack up to go home, a bottle of eye drops suddenly appeared, Woohyun looked up and realized that Yohan had been standing in front of his desk with two cups of hot coffee ever since.

- Thank you hyung!  - Woohyun narrowed his eyes and picked up the bottle of eye drops, the feeling of coolness spread throughout the retina, reducing the stinging somewhat.

- Are you back now?  - Yohan handed Woohyun a cup of coffee, leaning on the table himself.

- I'm cleaning up!  Hyung stay or go home?  - Woohyun put everything in his bag and then took the coffee to drink.

- Me too, so let's go home together!  - Yohan stood up straight.

- Nae!  Let's go, hyung!  - Woohyun picked up his bag and stood next to Yohan, both of them when leaving the company.

It was quite cold, even though he was holding a hot cup of coffee in his hand, Woohyun was still breathing out faint smoke, Yohan next to him pulled him close to transfer his body temperature to Woohyun.  Suddenly being pulled so close that he couldn't see the gap, Woohyun's body suddenly tensed up for a few seconds, feeling next to a warm mass of touching, he didn't realize that his ears were also hot with the temperature but blushed,  Yohan just smiled and led him to the parking lot.

Talking about the past when the two were still dividing seniors and juniors, Yohan didn't have the opportunity to be with Woohyun after work, remembering the junior who always put work first and didn't interact with anyone.  made Yohan who was the senior at that time became interested and gradually got to know this strange junior.  Around the time Woohyun resigned from hiding, Yohan was indifferent to the surrounding relationships and did not feel it until Woohyun appeared again, remembering this senior who drew him to Diamond Star and became  each other's colleagues.

That's why Yohan is able to get closer and closer to his tough-looking junior but actually cares for everyone.  Besides, coming to Diamond Star, working in the right environment, Yohan is also more open to his friends here, especially his respected president.

...

Junho got off work when he brought Yumin back home safely.  As a bodyguard, his responsibilities go hand in hand with vigilance, carefully putting his client's life first.  The worrying thing is that Junho also has a younger sister who is waiting every moment for his brother to come home, so he also has to be careful to protect himself in all situations.

The car drove slowly because the street was slippery due to the melting snow. Junho was driving while listening to the news on the radio.

Kim Heechul is really a talented lawyer as long as he doesn't get too attached to money and material things, he's perfect.  His job is not as much as the employees in the company, only legal issues come his turn.  Returning home slowly after work, Heechul prepared to change neatly, took the car keys and began to enjoy the nightlife of young people at the bar.

Unfortunately, on the way home, Heechul's car had a problem and stopped in the middle of the road, just called the rescue team to transfer the car to Heechul, he didn't know who to ask to take him home because he made a lot of enemies but made few friends.  Seeing the familiar color of the car from afar, Heechul ventured across to block the front of the car.

Fortunately, Junho drove slowly or else Yumin would have to change a new lawyer.  Junho pressed the pedal to slow the car to a stop until he was only a few centimeters away from the person in front of him when he realized it was Heechul!

- Wow!  That's right bodyguard Han!  It's really lucky to meet you... - Heechul waddled up to the car door to talk to Junho.

- Lawyer Kim is no longer early, I don't have time to hang out with you here!  I still have relatives waiting at home, goodbye!  - Junho's impression of Heechul is especially strong that he can't accept this person even though Yumin has told him to trust him.

- Yahhhh!  Don't leave me Junho, my car is broken but it's still cold outside, I'm about to faint, please give me a ride!  - Heechul panicked as if holding onto his lifebuoy, urgently pleading.

Junho looked at the snow outside but it was still very cold, watching the people outside talking continuously with each wave of thick smoke, he clicked his tongue to unlock the car, jerked his head to signal Heechul to get in the car.

- I know you're kind!  Thank you Junho!  - Heechul happily ran up to the car and sat in the co-driver's seat.

Junho didn't say a word, extended his hand to turn on the heater for someone else to warm up, Heechul noticed the temperature in the car was rising and laughed nervously, rubbing his hand in front of the heater.

- How do you eat and come home with a broken car, why don't you contact someone you know to come pick you up?  - If I hadn't happened to be passing by, Heechul wouldn't have been there until he got the car.

- Because it's all about destiny!  But the gods still love me, so I met you here!  You are my savior Junho even the last time I was beaten!  - You don't have friends to rely on, if so, it's probably the people at Diamond Star who can stand your personality.

- I just don't want to be reprimanded by the chairman for indirectly causing the absence of his effective lawyer!  - Heechul's words sounded normal, but Junho had a strange feeling in his ears so he had to explain.

- Also bring Yumin to justify!  Can't you once admit that what you did was because you wanted to?  - Heechul turned his head to look at the window, then smiled and confirmed that the other person must be "tsundere"!

Junho glanced at Heechul for a moment and then returned to focus on driving, this was originally his personal feeling about Heechul but the other person has not committed any crime worthy of condemnation.  Because the first impression was quite influential, Junho appointed Heechul in such a bad person format, he heard Yumin investigate this lawyer's background, it's also quite special, so maybe he hasn't seen it all yet.  the whole person Heechul!

- Han Junho!  I will definitely make you look at me with different eyes!  - Heechul suddenly bursting with enthusiasm turned to Junho and declared loudly.

- Worried and dedicated to work for the president!  If you make a mistake, I will personally teach you a game of a lifetime!  - Junho didn't look at Heechul, opened his mouth to threaten.

...

At SILVER FANG Club

The quartet of best friends - partners with Yumin: Dohyun, Levis, Stella and Somin!

Four people sitting in different positions, Yumin regretfully refused today's appointment due to work reasons.

Levis sat indifferently holding a glass of wine and spinning, the phone on the table that had been silent for a while, suddenly rang a message alert. He looked up and noticed that everyone was already drunk and didn't care about the noise just now, so he picked up the phone to check, his lips slightly curved into a smile as he quickly replied to the message Levis put the phone away, leaning forward.  Take the jacket and tuck it behind you.

- Is everyone okay?  If not, call a taxi back, I have an appointment!  See you next time!  - Not waiting for an answer, Levis rushed out because a man was waiting outside his club.

-Who else can make him hurry besides Kyungbin!  - Somin pouted contemptuously.

- That's the power of love!  - Dohyun had just finished speaking when his phone also rang.

He picked up the phone as soon as he saw the name on the screen: Yeonha!

- Another soldier is gone!  - Somin shook her head in disgust at these people immersed in love.

- I have some work at the shop, I'm going home too!  Careful you two!  - Then Dohyun took the key and left the room.

Somin looked helplessly at Stella.

- Let me take you home, it's not good to have someone to look after!  -Somin probably didn't know Stella's story, thought she had a family too

- I still alone, no one is waiting! - Stella shook her head and took a sip of wine.

- Oh! I'm sorry I thought... - Somin scolded herself for being stupid.

- Do you have a boyfriend?  - Stella doesn't blame her for casually chatting with Somin.

- I am the type of girl that few people want to pursue the most!  All bad habits!  - Somin sighed talking about herself.

- You talk too much!  I find Somin so cute and talented, why isn't anyone pursuing? - Stella tilted her head.

- Unnie! You're the first person to compliment me like that! - Somin was shy.

- Really! Then those people really don't have eyes to see people!

- Unnie is right!  People like that don't deserve to pursue me, just look at my looks!  - Somin lifted her nose confidently.

Stella dreamily stroked Somin's head, then lost her balance and fell asleep on her shoulder.

Receiving a heavy object on her shoulder, the tip of her nose and at the same time smelling the scent of perfume, Somin was surprised by Stella's action.  Realizing that this person was drunk, Somin was forced to take on the responsibility of bringing Stella home.

Besides the budding love affairs, there is also a very unspeakable situation happening with Yumin.
